The Cow (La Vache)

Victor Alfred Paul Vignon

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a rural scene with cows grazing, a human figure sitting on the ground, thatched-roof buildings, and a sky in the background. The artwork is created using detailed line work and cross-hatching, with a monochromatic color palette in shades of sepia or brown. Branches and outlines are defined with confident strokes.
